1. O you of pleasing character and secret etiquette
And O youth of youths
١. يا كاسِيَ الخُلُقِ الرَضِيِّ وَصاحِبَ ال
أَدَبِ السَرِيِّ وَيا فَتى الفِتيانِ
2. If they nominated you, you are from a house that
Shot its arrows beyond the realm of nations
٢. إِن رَشَّحوكَ فَأَنتَ مِن بَيتٍ رَمى
بِسِهامِهِ عَن حَوزَةِ الأَوطانِ
3. Your resolve and perceptive mind commend you
As does the purity of your faith and eloquence
٣. زَكّاكَ إِقدامٌ وَرَأيٌ شاهِدٌ
وَنَقِيُّ إيمانٍ وَحُسنُ بَيانِ
4. If you were among the electors, they would recognize
What felicity you possess, my dear Hifni
٤. لَو كُنتَ بَينَ الناخِبينَ لَأَدرَكوا
ما فيكَ يا حِفنِيُّ مِن رِضوانِ
